Everyone is keen to read the annual lists by Forbes, Fortune and the Hurun Report, about the richest people on our planet – the country they come from, the business they are in, their age and gender. More than 150 world leaders are meeting under heightened security, for the 21st Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21/CMP11), also known as Paris 2015 from November 30 to December 11 Britain’s Princess Charlotte is seen in this photograph taken by her mother Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, at Anmer Hall in Sandringham, and released by Kensington Palace in London President Barack Obama pardons the National Thanksgiving Turkey during the 68th annual presentation of the turkey in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington Pope Francis walks with Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta (2nd-L), First Lady Margaret Kenyatta (L) and Deputy President William Ruto (R) following his arrival at the Jommo Kenyatta International airport in Nairobi.

A nice touch to the story was that while Jack had given with no expectation of reward, he later received an iPad, the item he had been saving for, in a parcel from “the American Muslim Community”.
